Stove God Cooks wants out of his record deal.
Stove God Cooks is done being quiet about his situation. And he’s asking for help from one of hip-hop’s biggest power players. The Syracuse-born rapper recently jumped on Instagram and took to his story with a direct message for Jay-Z. He wrote, “Yo Hov get me out this sh**,” a post that immediately started making the rounds online.
The plea comes as fans continue to wonder why Stove God hasn’t released a new album in years. His last full-length project, Reasonable Drought, dropped back in 2020 and quickly became a cult favorite. It was......

The DMX Estate has been stepping in to protect his legacy.
The estate of Earl “DMX” Simmons is pushing back against a planned tribute event that claims to ordain the late rapper as a minister. They shared an exclusive statement with AllHipHop to make it clear that the ceremony is not officially approved or sanctioned.
In the statement, the DMX Estate addressed growing attention around a service scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church. The event has been promoted as a posthumous ordination honoring DMX’s faith and spiritual legacy. But, the Estate says it has......

It looks like Trump is not even considering Diddy's request.
Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly tried his luck with a presidential pardon, but it doesn’t look like President Donald Trump is biting.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Trump confirmed that the music mogul wrote him a letter asking for a pardon. According to the president, the request didn’t move him at all. Trump made it clear he is not considering granting clemency to Combs, keeping his response short and final. According to NYT, Trump told the Times reporters that Mr. Combs had "asked [him] for a pardon" and......

While 50 Cent maybe didn't intend to shade the "Let's Rap About It" podcast hosts with his new post, he certainly sought to scare his haters.
50 Cent is always looking for someone else to tussle with online, but it seems like he's taking a break from his antics ahead of the new year. While a recent message from him was a vague warning to those he's going to go after, folks couldn't help but interpret it as a dig against Fabolous, Maino, Jim Jones, and Dave East.
For those unaware, the Let's Rap About It podcast hosts dropped a new freestyle this week that seemed to take aim at......

Roxanne Alexis Hill-Johnson told "The Art Of Dialogue" that she and Craig Mack's kids didn't know his diagnosis until right before he passed.
Craig Mack was arguably the first breakout star that Diddy brought onto Bad Boy Records, although he sadly did not see his career reach the same heights that his contemporaries did. He sadly passed away in 2018 due to HIV/AIDS complications after a private life at a South Carolina ministry following many career troubles. But in a new interview with The Art Of Dialogue, Roxanne Alexis Hill-Johnson, the mother of Mack's two children and his ex wife, claimed that there is a......

Neither 50 Cent nor Fabolous are explicitly going at each other on social media right now... But their fans want blood.
Earlier this week, the Let's Rap About It podcast crew dropped a freestyle that seemed to be one big jab at 50 Cent. "Squatter's Rights" referenced 50's criticisms of Jim Jones, Maino, Dave East, and Fabolous for allegedly being broke and not being able to pay rent, all of which stemmed from the rappers and podcasters not liking the G-Unit mogul's participation in Netflix's Diddy docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
Since then, it seems like......

Max B made his long-awaited return on November 9 and has not wasted anytime getting back into the groove music wise.
Max B is back, and it feels oh so good. The New York rapper was at the peak of his powers in the mid-2000s, dropping some of the waviest bangers of the time. His career was unfortunately stopped to an abrupt halt in 2009, though. Then, he began the first of his 16 years in prison over robbery that also became a fatal catastrophe.
But since reintegrating himself back into society last Sunday (Nov. 9), he's been out and about. For example, he was in attendance that very same day to watch the New York Jets take down the......

Earlier this week, it was reported that Akon was arrested in Georgia on an outstanding bench warrant and booked into the Smyrna City Jail.
Recently, Akon got himself into a bit of trouble, and was arrested in Georgia as a result. What appeared to be his mugshot quickly began making its rounds online, along with reports that the ordeal stemmed from a suspended license. In September, police spotted his Tesla Cybertruck stopped in the middle of the road, and were soon informed that the battery died. While waiting for a tow truck to come and move the vehicle, they learned that Akon's license was suspended for failure to appear in......

It's unclear what prompted Denzel Curry to sound off on the state of mainstream rap, but it may have to do with its struggles on the charts.
The motto for rap this year is that it hasn't been performing well, particularly commercially speaking. There have certainly been some fine songs and projects to land in 2025. Freddie Gibbs, JID, Chance the Rapper, billy woods, and others have all contributed excellence. But while these MCs are successful, they aren't necessarily your typical rap darlings in that way.
That lack of consistency from the likes of Drake, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti is more so what many folks are pointing to. That......

Congratulations to Cardi and Stefon!
Cardi B has officially entered a new chapter, and this one includes her newest bundle of joy. Cardi made the announcement in peak Cardi fashion. She posted an Instagram reel that shows her confidently walking in heels, baby bump gone, while lip-syncing "Hello" from her new album Am I The Drama? The lyric she chose sent the message loud and clear: "I’m back, b*tch."TMZ reported that the Grammy-winning rapper welcomed the baby boy last week, and sources close to the artist say NFL star Stefon Diggs was by Cardi’s side for the birth.
As far as the caption on the post, the......
